    I give donations, but way less than I’d like (less in terms of quantity of recipients, not the total financial quantity).

    What I’d love (not only for FOSS, but also stuff like podcasts and other things I’m donating to regularly) would be a service where I can set a budget and select the software and tools I use and it splits it up automatically.

    I don’t mind donating, but I hate managing it, having dozens of small transactions for it, and I feel like I’m forgetting to donate to like 90+% of the stuff I’m using. Also, with payment provider’s fees it’s often not worth it to donate <1€ a month, so bundling transactions would be way more effective - for me as the user as well as the recipients who’d get one transaction once a month from said service rather than hundreds of small ones.

    I never really understood why e.g. Patreon doesn’t offer this. You can’t expect perks with this because the perks probably will start higher than what’s the breakdown of each recipient woild be at a reasonable budget, but the advantage would be that (mostly) everyone would get a piece of your cake, rather than like 5 of the 500 different creators/developers/… you’re using content/software of.



  • It usually relies on honesty.
    If the vast majority of users is honest (which I would assume is the case in communities like this, because what big interest would men have in impersonating a woman just for answering to women’s topics) then you can have rules that you cannot really enforce. And you still benefit from them, I think there’s a lot less men posting with that rule than without it.

    I admit that I just assumed that this rule would be in a place where you have to be able to see it before posting.

    Now after your comment I’ve looked for it and the rule has only been announced in a pinned post. I agree that this is too hard to find; not everyone reads through every post in a community in case there are any rules for posting hidden in them (espefially when that post doesn’t even mention the words rules in its title). So I agree that this one’s on the community, thank you for clearing that up.

    Inclusive doesn’t mean they let everybody in regardless

    It does. I mean, if they not let everybody participate it’s by definition an exclusive community. In this case exclusive to women. Which is fine, but it is not universally inclusive (as the word “inclusive” without any further definition implies).

    I get what they probably want to say - they include every woman, regardless of age/nationality, if it’s a MTF trans woman etc. But they could have expressed this better - i.e. “inclusive community for women” or something.

    On the other hand, you’re supposed to read the rules when you post in a community the first time so this confusion could’ve been avoided by both sides.



  • Yeah, I assume if they took down Wikipedia itself then hundreds of copies would pop up all over the place, probably hosted elsewhere, and one of them would become the primary replacement over time.
    Media might be lost to some extent, but I doubt there’s any way you can take the text/information/metadata off the internet at all, and that’s the most important aspect.
